create-simple-prompt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pnp/copilot-prompts. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,587 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding a new prompt sample to the pnp/copilot-prompts repository. It covers the required folder, documentation, assets, and metadata structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold a sample with a title, prompt text, description, target Copilot product, folder prefix, README, assets folder, and sample metadata.
Why use it?
It helps contributors provide the information and files needed for a prompt sample to fit the repository’s format.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ![Screenshot of the prompt in use](./assets/demo.png).

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-simple-prompt scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Create a New Prompt Sample

This skill guides creating new prompt samples for the pnp/copilot-prompts repository with the correct folder structure, README, assets folder, and sample.json metadata file.

Before Starting

Critical: Always ask the user for the following information before scaffolding:

  1. Prompt title — a friendly, descriptive title (e.g., "Create Annual Sales Report template in PowerPoint")
  2. Prompt text — the actual prompt the user wants to share
  3. Description — a short description of what the prompt does and why it's useful
  4. Target product — which Copilot product this prompt is for. Common values:
    • Microsoft 365 Copilot (for M365 prompts used in Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.)
    • Microsoft Copilot (for general Microsoft Copilot prompts)
    • GitHub Copilot (for GitHub Copilot prompts)
  5. App host prefix — determines the folder name prefix. Common prefixes based on where the prompt is used:
    • m365 — Microsoft 365 Copilot (Teams, Outlook, general M365)
    • ppt — PowerPoint
    • word — Word
    • github — GitHub Copilot
    • whiteboard — Whiteboard
    • wellness — Wellness / lifestyle
    • Other descriptive prefix matching the app or domain
  6. Author name — the contributor's full name
  7. Author GitHub username — the contributor's GitHub handle
  8. Prerequisites — what the user needs to run the prompt (defaults to the product selected above)

If the user doesn't provide all details upfront, ask for the missing ones before proceeding.

Sample Directory Structure

Create the sample in samples/prompts/{folder-name}/:

samples/prompts/{folder-name}/
├── assets/
│   └── sample.json          # Metadata for the M365 Solution Gallery
├── README.md                # Documentation

Folder naming rules:

  • Format: {prefix}-{short-description}-prompt (e.g., m365-email-sorting, ppt-sales-report-prompt, github-copilot-fix-code)
  • Use lowercase and hyphens only
  • Do NOT use periods/dots in the folder name
  • Keep it concise but descriptive
  • The prefix should reflect the target app or platform

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
